Arizona Cardinals at Minnesota Vikings odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Arizona Cardinals (6-5) and Minnesota Vikings (9-2) meet Sunday. Kickoff from U.S. Bank Stadium is at 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Cardinals vs. Vikings odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Cardinals snapped a 4-game winning streak and fell out of first place in the NFC West last week. They lost 16-6 as 1-point favorites at the Seattle Seahawks Nov. 24 as the Under (47) cashed.

The Vikings escaped with a 30-27 OT win at the Chicago Bears Nov. 24 for their fourth consecutive victory. They had a late 11-point lead, but gave up a TD — and the ensuing 2-point conversion — with 22 seconds remaining, did not recover the onside kick, and allowed a game-tying field goal at the end of regulation. However, K John Parker Romo hit a 29-yard, game-winning field goal with 2:10 remaining in OT.

Cardinals at Vikings picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 23, Vikings 21

Moneyline

The Cardinals have not won in Minneapolis since 1977, and the Vikings are 4-1 at home this season. However, the Cardinals have responded following losses. Only once this season have they lost consecutive games.

Minnesota’s No. 1-ranked run defense will be tough for the Cardinals’ No. 6 rushing offense, but the X-factor will be Cardinals QB Kyler Murray. He has been careful with the football this season. The Vikings have turned the ball over in 4 straight games and in 9 of 11 this season. They have also had at least 1 takeaway in every game.

After the Cardinals’ offensive line played terribly in Week 4, the Cardinals bounced back and beat the San Francisco 49ers on the road.

They are coming off another terrible game from the offensive line.

They will bounce back for a surprising upset.

BET CARDINALS (+150).

Against the spread

If you aren’t as confident about an outright win by the Cardinals, the Vikings are 2-3-1 ATS in their last 6 games.

The Cardinals are 7-4 ATS this season and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.

If you don’t like the Cardinals to win outright, at least take them to cover the +3.5 (-115), even though the +150 on the moneyline will give you a much better payout.

PASS.

Over/Under

Four of the last 5 games for the Cardinals have not reached 45 total points.

Three of the last 4 for the Vikings also have not.

Both defenses are playing well. The Cardinals have allowed only 1 offensive TD in their last 3 games.

BET UNDER 45 (-110).
